Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Alternative & Green Health

Ugh, who isn't dealing with dry skin in some form during this time of year? Besides anybody lucky enough to be living in southern California or Hawaii? That's what I thought. Practically nobody.

Check out these other top causes of dry skin and see if you aren't inadvertently sabotaging yourself and making yourself miserable this winter -- spring is still a ways away!
